“21But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophet bear witness to it—22the righteousness of God through Faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is not distinction: 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” – Romans 3:21-23 (ESV)
I am no different from you in the eyes of God. Whether Jew or Gentile, Baptist or Catholic, Polish or American, rich or poor. We all have the same opportunities.
God is our Lord and Savior. Not just the Jewish. I am a child of God just as you are a child of God. Salvation is for all of us.
When Jesus died on the cross, he died for all our sins. When it is said all our sins. Not all OUR sins, but ALL our sins. What a difference it makes when I put the emphasis on the different word in the phrase. ALL to me means everyone and every. Not just those that fit into my box, but ALL sins that have occurred or will occur. Not just for me, but for everyone.
Jesus died for us ALL to cover ALL sin in the world.
When you think about it, do you understand the word ALL here? What are you thoughts with regard to Jesus’ coverage of sin? Do you feel as though you fit into the ALL without distinction?
